well that is all well and good, but ram air makes the equivelent 1lb of boost at 90mph so they would be dead even on a dyno, but on the track when the car is actually moving the SS has air being focred into its engine while the z28 does not

what you are saying is the equvalent of saying a cai does nothing for performance
i think people purposely say things like this just to entertain others on the internet.

... I think molten SlushBOX is my new trolling project. I think I'm going to like him if I ever decide to post in any thread he does. He might entertain me for a while.

Guys I'm worried now. Did I make a mistake buying a Z28 over an SS? Because going by that information, I could be running LOW 12s if I had an SS! Why didn't I have this info sooner!?!?!?

Someone show him the GMHTP article where the fastest stock LS1 F-body was a Z28. It is bad enough some of those Honda guys know nothing about their cars, but do they really have to pretend to be experts about ours?
